Manifold Vacuum Advance what am I not getting?

It sounds like you understand that for all practical purposes that manifold and ported vac are the same once the throttle has opened far enough to expose the ported vac port to manifold vac. In your chart that would lay them on top of each other once that happens or above idle.


Not always. Where the throttle blades are relative to the ported vacuum port changes when you get ported vacuum.

The curves don’t necessarily have to be the same.
